Small VPS | East Coast | IPv6

I've been clicking through LEB the last few minutes and didn't find any current offer. Are there any small sized VPS (max. 128MB RAM, up to 5gb disk and ~30GB traffic) that are located on the east coast with TUN/TAP and native IPv6 ?

"Kids, you tried your best and failed miserably. The lesson learned is: never try."

I don't need any hosts who allows spammers or abusers @damian, I don't know why you want to put me into that direction. Also I don't need any IRC allowance as I simply don't use IRC.

I've looked at Hostigation @mitgib, but I can't see how the VPS will be administered nor where it is located or if it has any IP at all. Let alone the TUN/TAP possibility. Can you shed some light on that? :-)

I've also looked at LES @raymii, but the interesting offers are either sold out or the products description does not even state if a VPS has an IP, regardless stating that it has IPv6 connectivity. And yes, I want to use Debian on the VPS which means I'm not interestted in VPS6 and Freebsd. :-/

Yes, I'm connecting from Europe @elliotj . I've a west coast VPS but the connection is very slow. And I already have a VPS in Europe.

You listed your requirements and I know I meet them, that is the only reason I suggested it. And what did you look at? On the OpenVZ Order page, it states "3 letter code denotes airport code for the city VPS will be provided in" Is that not clear? I can change it to something else if it is confusing to people. My signature here says I provide SolusVM, so that describes much of what is included, and I am running the current beta which offers client side TUN/TAP and pptp control. I have a /32 of IPv6 assigned, and plenty of IPv4, why would you think I provide no IP at all, how could you even use a VPS without an IP? And yes I see the :-) to denote a touch of sarcasm, so keep that in mind when reading this reply :)

@nabo the site indeed does not show that, but what I find very nice is that it shows what is available. Then you can further look into a provider that meets your requirements. Did you check out the ramhost tinyvz brand? Don't know the location but they do offer IPv6 and I have very good experiences with ramhost:

Yes, they are completely sold out. And even the parent Ramhost. No VPS available.

Thanks for the reply :-) Sorry, I'm not familar with airport codes. But I understand that now. Your site didn't say IPv6 but if you provide that I'm fine with that.

I just recall that there was a discussion on LET where providers nagged their customers about ther legit use of the IP and I raised the question if a VPS does not need at least one IP. And I got several answers saying me that it is not needed because of NAT and proxy et al. Thus, I'm quite sceptic ;-)

The main reason for the VPS is to have it running OpenVPN and a working/native IPv6 connectivity so that I can make use of IPv6. My provider at home does not provide this but I want to be able to already use it. Thus, I don't need much ressources (RAM, space, Traffic).

i bought the smallest east coast kvm from hostigation and can say its great. I'm running irssi and nginx on it, works great. yes it does have ipv6, and you can set your rDNS right from solusvm, as well as enabling tun/tap & pptp.

Although, @mitgib i'm gonna have to agree that the airport codes thing is pretty confusing... The only reason why I new CLT = charlotte was because of your email regarding new plans in charlotte.

Ok, what would be less confusing, short of spelling it out completely? I chose the airport codes as they are internationally recognized, but am open to suggestion. I was also being very sarcastic to @nabo as well, but if it is genuinely confusing, it needs to be addressed.

@mitgib, change the abbreviations in the order column to:
NC and CA, and then in the area where you explain the airport codes, instead specify the specific locations. Because most people notice the table first, they don't really read the plaintext squished in the middle between the two tables (at least I didnt at first).

In addition, since right now you have 3 letter abbreviations and text-align center, it causes a line break, so it looks like this:

CLT |
LAX

it would probably be more clear if it were:

NC | CA

you could even just split that cell into two and then have a link in each cell

preferably:

instead of one column for ordering, make it into two columns, with the header column having colspan 2.

I just signed up for one of your KVM the other day and had trouble figuring out what the codes meant (I'm from Europe). Maybe NC, USA and CA, USA would be easier to understand and save a unnecessary google search?

@Damian said: "WTF is a CLT?", so I put it in google, BAM AIRPORT CODE.

If you're using google.com (from UK or US) that might be true. But google is displaying content for the regions you're calling it from. So in my google (where .com always redirects to the local) it is not showing airport codes but showing me the explanation of the "Cross Laminated Timber (CLT)" and all Samsung specific products that have CLT in their name, besides various things in my local language.

And I really couldn't make any sense out of "Cross Laminated Timer" and a VPS at Hostigation, sorry @mitgib ;-)

That's the side-effect of the Web 2.0. Web 1.0 gave us an area where information could route globally. Web 2.0 forces us into local circles or peer groups. I kinda like the old days.

But I now figured out that NC is on the east coast. Being one of the 13 first colonies. Heck, now I know why I had to learn that in school years ago. Thanks to my english teacher :-)

@miTgiB said: And now you've learned the uselessness of GeoIP locations on non-residential IP Space.

The Maxmind GeoIP isn't any better on my residential IP. It puts me somewhere ~300km away in a different town. I guess its the HQ of the ISP. So how trustworthy is Maxmind then? I took it because the VPS providers use it and I thought it's reliable then.

"Kids, you tried your best and failed miserably. The lesson learned is: never try."

Yes, it mostly goes on the SWIP address of the range, but it takes MaxMind a few years to catch on if that has changed. There is a LOC line for DNS and I've suggested @Delta add that feature for the nerd factor to Stallion, but I really don't know how much it is being used yet by these Geo Location services.

@nabo MaxMind is only a suggestion of possible risk, if I was reviewing your app and saw 150 mile discrepancy of your IP and address, but you were in the service area of the ISP who owned the IP space I would not think twice approving it. It's those that say they live in Utah and use Frantech IP space I ask questions of
